On today’s show we welcome back economist Richard Duncan to discuss the current events happening across most asset classes. Richard is the author of 4 books, the most recent of which is called The Money Revolution, which we discussed back in March, episode 424. The book explores a contrarian idea that the US could potentially act as a venture capitalist for the American people. The thesis, however, has been blunted from the new high interest rate environment. Richard has worked for the World Bank and the IMF and I always appreciate his ability to teach his ideas very clearly and thoroughly.  IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN: 00:00:00 - Intro 00:00:23 - Where the economy is heading, now that credit growth has been reversed 00:05:05 - The steep decline in the treasury markets around the world and what’s driving it 00:11:46 - England's pension plan fiasco 00:23:05 - Why the FED’s net income has turned negative for the first time ever and how it can be reversed if politicians understand the mechanics Richard lays out 00:48:50 - The $280B Chips & Science Act that was recently signed into law ✔️ Subscribe to the We Study Billionaires channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/WeStudyBillionaires 🖊️ Access our free show notes and transcript here: https://www.theinvestorspodcast.com/episodes/current-market-conditions-w-richard-duncan/ 📖  BOOK MENTIONED: - The Money Revolution: How to Finance the Next American Century by Richard Duncan: https://amzn.to/3z8E6Cg Disclosure: Some of the links above are affiliate links that we may earn commission from.
